Round 2: Miss Buffalo vs. gunzlingr
Round 2: Miss Buffalo vs. gunzlingr
Round 2 will be limericks. That's right, not only does it take original insults, but also some skill to win this game.
For the uneducated, a limerick is a five-line poem written with one couplet and one triplet. If a couplet is a two-line rhymed poem, then a triplet would be a three-line rhymed poem. The rhyme pattern is a a b b a with lines 1, 2 and 5 containing 3 beats and rhyming, and lines 3 and 4 having two beats and rhyming. Some people say that the limerick was invented by soldiers returning from France to the Irish town of Limerick in the 1700's.
Ex:
There once was a parson named Bings
Who talked about God and such things.
But his secret desire
Was to join a mixed choir
With nice ladies with whom he'd have flings.
Please note that I did not write the above limerick. It sucks.
Notice lines 1, 2, and 5 rhyme and lines 3 and 4 rhyme.
If that's too tough for you, you shouldn't be here. If only BOA had made it to round 2. :snicker:
Each contestant will take turns insulting each other. This round will consist of just 5 turns apiece, so make them good.
IMPORTANT: You should write ONLY a 5-line limerick in each post, NOTHING ELSE! Voters should deduct points for any words typed which are not a part of a limerick.
And remember, no editing your post once it's submitted!
gunzlingr will go first. (smallest margin of victory in Round 1)
